Will anyone on this thread actually mention Bill Donohue, head of the Catholic League? Probably not. Notice, in this article he is very careful to talk about opposition to homosexual marriage, but not civil unions. This is because he does not oppose civil unions, and has publicly stated he does not oppose them. He has been given th opportunity to deny his support for civil unions, but he never has. Notice this part of the article:

They noted that according to Pope John Paul II's 2003 "Considerations Regarding Proposals to Give Legal Recognition to Unions Between Homosexual Persons," Catholics have a duty to oppose same-sex domestic partnerships, and refrain in every way from co-operating with or supporting such a lifestyle.

Bill Donohue is opposed to the teaching of the Church and John Paul II's teachings. I know I will be criticized for criticizing him, but I am only doing what Donohue claims to do. The fact is, he is just like those he attacks. Even if he only opposed Church teaching on one issue, he should not be in the positions he is. I was a support of the Catholic League and have nothing against Donohue, except that he is fighting against Church teaching.
